I love the spice section of my favorite Indian grocery store! And I had some canned cut greenbeans I picked up cheap; eliminates the steaming time. About 2 cups fresh will suffice if you want to go that route. The black sesame seeds make for a nice crunch and Indian flavor, plus the green and black look so nice together. Plus, the greenbeans don't taste canned this way! Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) can green beans, rinsed and drained |
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon madras curry powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric |
1/4 teaspoon garam masala |
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl mix the oil with the spices and black sesame seeds.
2. Put the green beans in a tossing bowl with the oil/spice mixture and toss well to coat.
3. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes for the flavors to absorb.
4. Pour the contents of the bowl into a large skillet or frying pan and on medium-high heat, move the greenbeans around with a spatula until fully cooked but not shrunken.
5. Makes about two 1-cup servings and doubling/tripling works just dandy if cooking for more people.
